“The Roadmap of Design Strategy for Hong Kong Manufacturing SMEs”
Strategy is regarded as the key success for almost everything, from small things like daily communications to large business models, strategies are required to respond to different strategies challenges. In recent years, design has gradually been incorporated into the industrial world, the concept of “design strategy ” has thus begun to flourish.
The research team has now engaged more than 40 corporates/manufacturers in different industries (jewellery, watches, clothing and fashion, furniture, printing etc.). The research team analysed the changes and development of different industries in Hong Kong in different eras (local service needs of the 1950s; the particularly strong industries and economy during the 1960s and 1970s; the Hong Kong factories moving north in the 1980s and 1990s; and the rapid development of science and technology from the millennium onwards).
Eventually the insights of the 50 cases of the research study will be published and shared with the target audience together with the tool kit at the launching ceremony in mid-2019.

「香港製造業中小企設計策略之路」
策略可算是每件事的成功關鍵，小至處事模式大至營商手法都需要以不同的策略應對。近年設計漸漸融入工業世界，而「設計策略」亦開始應運而生。
研究團隊目前已經與不同行業（珠寶、鐘錶、製衣及時裝、傢俱、印刷等等）的40多間企業/製造業進行訪問。團隊亦分析香港不同行業於不同年代的變化（服務本土所需的五十年代；工業及經濟蓬勃的六、七十年代；香港工廠陸續北移的八、九十年代；科技快速發展的千禧年代）。
最終50個案例的研究精華將會輯錄成指南和工具箱，並於2019年中舉行指南發布會與目標觀眾分享。
